    Re: Oil in coolant

    dont have a blown head gasket, just curious. Coolant is very merky.

    Trying to figure out where my oil is going, no visible leaks any where. Took off the intercooler found some in there, in the pipes as well, found some drops in the throttle body, havent really had any pinging either, well any i could hear
